The Bears are just days away from making a franchise-altering decision when they're on the clock. I can't recall a draft with so much uncertainty leading up to it. Deciphering all the conflicting reports out there makes it impossible to know true intentions, which is exactly what teams want.

Overall this is a deep draft class, though it lacks star power at the top. The quarterback position is better than it is being characterized — click here to read my quarterback big board — and I wouldn't be surprised if four went in the first round.

Prospect summary: Relentless technician with an explosive first step who uses violent hands to stun, stack, shed blockers and locate the football to make impact plays behind the line of scrimmage both against the run and pass.

Career stats: 13 starts, 77 tackles, seven interceptions returned for 181 yards (second-best yardage return total in FBS in 2016), five tackles for loss, four passes broken up, three interceptions returned for touchdowns (best in FBS in 2016)

Honors: 2016 first-team All American, 2016 first-team All Big Ten

Projection: Top-10 selection

Prospect Summary: An instinctive, rangy, explosive ball hawk perched atop a defense who covers ground in an instant to affect an opponent’s passing game from hash-to-hash. Hooker is still developing as a football player, which makes his ceiling sky high.
